The first thing I do when I am abroad is find a nearby post office. I love sending post cards to family and friends!
Sure, an e-mail and/ or a phone call may be more efficient, but when you receive a handwritten letter…or take the time to get out your pen and paper of choice, everything communicated suddenly becomes more special, whimsical.
Kind of like when you read a great book then you are disappointed with the movie, you or your reader can use their own imagination and translate their own enthusiasm into your letter.
 | Being my first night in Israel, I have not yet had the chance to go post-card shopping. |
You don’t have to travel to send postcards!
It was just in typing this that I realized I don’t send letters to anyone other than my penpal when I am home, but you can bet I will start as soon as I set foot back in the USA. Get started now!
1) Pick out cute stationary, my favorites are linked below:
Cherry Blossom // Long Distance // Faux Bois
2) Gather addresses and birthdays of your friends and family.
3) Light a candle, put on a record, and let it flow!
